To make sure that gcc is properly installed...
Code:
sudo apt install build-essential
so I looked in the config file and it says things like:
configure:3898: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:3920: gcc conftest.c -lX11 >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
but I don't know what lX11 is...?
I think I installed and re-installed and updated gcc, but I still get the error.
Coming from windows, this whole needing to give permission every few seconds to do anything like moving a file is so annoying lol.
Thanks in advance!
-lX11 instructs the linker link to libX11.so or libX11.a. This should be somewhere like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so. It can be installed with...
Code:
sudo apt install libx11-dev
